RATINGS WINNER

The scoreless tie between the United States and Sweden on Friday night drew the biggest television audience for a Women’s World Cup group stage match and the fourth-largest for any game in the tournament’s history.

The game averaged 4.5 million viewers on Fox. The Americans’ 3-1 opening win over Australia on Monday had set the previous high for a group stage match with 3.3 million viewers on Fox Sports 1.

Fox said Saturday that the only previous Women’s World Cup matches to draw larger audiences were the 1999 and

2011 finals, and a 1999 semifinal.

LOOKING AHEAD

Sunday is the second rest day of the first round, a curious decision for a tournament that has struggled to sell tickets. The final games in Groups A and B will be played Monday.

Germany, which will play Thailand, remains in the driver’s seat to win Group A because its 10-0 win over Ivory Coast in its opener gives it a significant advantage in goal difference if it ends up tied with Norway atop the group.

Even a tie with the Norwegians on Thursday did not rattle the confidence of Coach Silvia Neid.
